Richmond relit Ires have receired word tht Mr. and Mrs. Francis McNutt are now redding in Rome, Italy. Mr. McNutt, who at one time resided in Richmond, has had a very romantic career. For many years he was in the United States diplomatic service, serving as secretary of legation in Constantinople and Madrid. He entered this service after he had studied for the priesthood in Boston for a short time. After leaving the foreign service of the United States he became one of the chamberlains of the late Pope Leo XIII, being the only American who ever held such a post at the Vatican. He retired from this post because of an intrigue against him by certain Spanish and Italian attaches of the Vatican. Lived In a Castle.

k recent years Mr. and Mrs. Mc

Nutt bare made their home in a picturesque castle in the Austrian Tyrol, close to the scene of the present fighting between the Italian and Austrian

armies. Just before the outbreak of

! hostilities between Austria and Italy ; Mr. 'and Mrs. McNutt went to Rome. I His Tyrolean castle is now used as' a hospital by the Austrians. In recent i years Mr. McNutt has devoted much of his time to writing books on histor- ' leal subjects. He has been a globe trotter since early manhood and speaks seven or eight languages. While serving as secretary of legation at Constantinople he made the acquaintance of King Nicholas of the tiny kingdom of Montenegro, who became greatly attached to him. After he retired from the American foreign service King Nicholas surprised McNutt by conferring upon him the Montenegrin order of knighthood.

Scores of women bargain hunters this morning upheld the reputation of their sex and re-asserted their claim to undisputed superiority over the members of the male contingent in bargain-getting when they bore down upon the Walk-Over Shoe store to take advantage of the one day sale in oxfords. Before eight o'clock the store was filled to its capacity and women were surging and pushing in a crowd at the doorway. H. T.

In their baste and eagerness to secure the best bargains, many of the women pulled down boxes of shoes and tried the shoes on themselves without waiting for the assistance of the clerks. Boxes and shoes were thrown in every direction. Hats were pulled off, bundles were dropped and pandemonium reigned. Women jostled and shoved and pushed and practically fought taking almost complete possession of the store while the clerks, helpless, looked on. in amazement. Between 11 o'clock and 12:30 the crowd became so great that the doors were closed during this period.

KAISER FAVORS BEER TO IMPURE WATER

BERLIN, July 8 The "German Society of Total Abstainers" has suffered a decided check in its endeavor to drive alcoholic beverages entirely out of the army and navy. In answer to a petition demanding absolute prohibition ror the troops in the field, the society received the following letter from Admiral Von Mueller, chief of the naval cabinet and adjutant-general of the emperor. "I have lately had occasion to speak to his majesty on the liquor question. The emperor reiterated the views expressed by him in his speech to the cadets and midshipmen at Muerwick, but on the other hand he expressly stated that the use of light alcoholic beverages should not be stopped in the army. His majesty is of the opinion that impure water is far more dangerous for the troops in the field than light wines and beer. These beverages are to be preferred where absolutely pure. water cannot be procured. The soldiers, however, will under no condition, receive whiskey and other strongly intoxicating liquors."
